The Brotherhood has been Anti-American since the 1950's.
they didn't like that Americans drank, ate pork, allowed woman to dress in bikinis, and Jews lived here, and all this was from one of their members who lived in Denver for a couple months.

Sooner , rathor then later Egypt and the rest of the Arab world are going to do something crazy; watch out when the sh*t starts flying.

None of which changes the fact that they currently hold office in Egypt and have diplomatic relations with the US.

I'm not happy that the Muslim Brotherhood are running things in Eygpt. I do think that perhaps there were legitimate reasons to meet up with them. They're claiming they'll respect the civil rights of those in Egypt. It's important to see if they'll go through with that.

They won't. Islamists consider democracy to be blasphemous. The will of Allah has already been set down, so man-made law is, at best, redundant, but at worst, a violation of Allah's explicit instructions. They will participate in elections so that they can gain power, but once they have it, they will only relinquish it through violence.

Kerry's not a diplomat. He's one of 100 senators.

You make that sound like a bad thing. Kerry has always been more keen to meet with our enemies than our allies. There's nothing wrong with pointing it out.

I believe that's Theresa's position, as well.

Egypt has diplomatic relations with the US, the Brotherhood does not.

Hillary will go as soon as she's fitted for a chador and niquab. Obama won't go because most of the golf courses in Egypt are sand traps with the occasional putting green, and he doesn't want to ruin his handicap.
